It is allowed unless forbidden - which depends on how your server is configured. Beware that doing that in a CGI script might cause a very slow page load for your user if the server it fetches from is slow, or the network connection to that server.

Thank you So what would I need to change on the server in order to get it to work? Alternatively, what do I type on the command line to install the www::Curl library ('bubblegum' or something like that...I just can't remember the name. ). Also, how would I convert the following to use the www::Curl library? `@curl = ('/usr/bin/curl', '-S','-v','--location', $url, '-H','Content- +Type:'.$content_type,'-H',"Authorization: $authorization",'-H',"X-Gda +ta-Key:$gdata_key",'-H',"Content-Length:$content_length",'-H','GData- +Version:2','--data',"\@$filename");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

So what would I need to change on the server in order to get it to work? So it doesn't work? In what way? Does it hang? Or do you get an error message? If yes, which? Is there anything in the error.log of your web server? Do you have selinux or a similar security enhancement installed? A firewall? Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply]

Why do you think you need curl? The LWP::UserAgent and derived classes like LWP::Simple and LWP::RobotUA can do everything you need, all within your process, without needing to rely on external programs.
